MINERAL SHOWINGS

3Ts SHOWING

  • The 3T Showing was expressed as a ground radiometric anomaly in overburden. It was found on a geological/prospecting traverse. Digging in the over- burden revealed several boulders with radioactivity in excess of 10,000 cps.
  • Follow up sampling identified values exceeding 10% U308, with anomalism over a 1km area
  • The boulders were sub-angular, suggesting that they were locally derived. It is believed that they are frost heaved fragments of underlying bedrock
  • The mineralization Itself occurs both in the breccia fragments and along the fragment surfaces. The uranium mineral appears to be pitchblende. No uranium secondaries were observed. Pyrite and pyrrhotite are the only visible accessory minerals
  • 2006/7 MEGATEM geophysical results show several suspected faults that are thought to relate to the mineralization

ECHO SHOWING

  • The Echo showing is a uranium-silver occurrence
  • Discovery of locally derived radioactive boulders at the base of a slope led to the discovery of mineralization in bedrock.
  • The mineralization in fractures in garnetiferous amphibolite at or near the contact with quartzo-feldspathic gneiss. The fractures contain pitchblende, yellow uranium secondary minerals, carbonate and an earthy deep-red hematite alteration.
  • The country rock is essentially migmatite, consisting of garnet-iferous amphibolite and highly contorted pinkish quartzo- feldspathic gneisses and foliated quartz diorites
  • The showing is structurally controlled as it occurs at the intersection of two fault zones.
  • Radioactivity has also been discovered along the northerly trending structure, about 1000m north of the Echo showing, at the Flow showing.
  • Assay results of high-grade grab samples are given (values in pm unless otherwise indicated):

DAMIEN-BOG ZONE

  • The ten short holes at the Damien-Bog zone were drilled from four set ups.
  • Pitchblende was encountered in all of the holes with the best intersection in hole HB-06-33B that had 0.12% U308 across 9.1 meters in the interval from 61.6 meters to 70.7 meters.
  • The uranium mineralization is associated with hematite and pyrite in quartz/ carbonate veins and along fractures.
  • The veins and fractures occur within granitoid rocks in the footwall of a strong thrust fault.
  • From the very limited outcrop and drilling to date, the mineralization appears to occur over an area of about 800m by 200m.

BEAR VALLEY

Munch, Bear & Iceberg

The Bear Valley area is in the far east of Future Fuels land package where a large 200m wide North-South trending shear zone corresponds to the geochemical and radiometric anomalies.

  • The Bear Valley Shear – recessive topography, bounded to the west by the Akaitcho and Hornby sandstones and to the east by Hepburn and Epworth gabbroic rocks.
  • Results of radiometric surveys, prospecting, lake and soil sampling in 1970/80s established the existence of over 30 areas with anomalous radioactivity.
  • Soil sampling demonstrated a positive association of uranium with copper, lead, zinc, cobalt and silver anomalism indicating potential for IOCG-type deposits as well as unconformity style.
  • Between 1978-1983 several shallow drilling campaigns were completed and intersected intensely altered schist and gneisses with graphitic shears associated with anomalous uranium.
  • A geophysical survey completed by a previous operator in 2009/10 focused on Ni-Cu potential in the area and has provided valuable radiometric targets that have never been integrated with historical geochemical data.

4 Target areas within the Bear Valley trend have been identified.

  • Bear Main and Bear West – Soil anomalies and VLF conductors potentially related to graphitic shear zones.
  • Munch – soil anomaly south of Munch Lake associated with a radiometric high.
  • Iceberg – Multiple uranium-in-soil anomalies from the 1970s with follow up potential.
